Best price on SAW 1.5 Rear Coils

[Magnetic4R]

Shipping from wheeler is $18. I'm hoping they will give me the 1.5"'drop, don't want anything higher.
I noticed the one one wheeler is silver and not red, I'm wondering if there is any variance between them.

Found this pic. Installed on a 2007, but if you look real close, the second number looks like 102-1575-195

Camburg 07-14 FJ Cruiser | 03-13 4-Runner Rear 1.5 Coil Springs

I just found these… Camburg but it says made by Eibach…

If the 5th gens are heavier than the FJ, I don't know how it would give 1.5" lift for both trucks

 

[Magnetic4R]

I'm curious how all 3 vehicle established the same lift when they are all different weight, with the 5th gen the heaviest?

...and that's what I was thinking.

Hence why I think a lot of people are confused or worse spend money on springs thinking they may work and don't get what is expected. It is a little bit frustrating.

I got my SAW coil today.. yup, one coil…

I ordered them through mudflaps.com Sway-a-way 102-1575-195 Coil Spring - Sway-A-Way

They were direct shipped from SAW and when i spoke to them, they said their PO shoes only one coil even though they are listed on mudflap's website as a pair.

Waiting to hear back from them to see what they can do. I asked to have one overnighted to me.

But the coil is grey, not red as pictured on the website.

I guess Wheelers doesnt sound so expensive now?

J/K they should be red, never seen any other color option for the 4runner unless its changed. Def a problem there.

They are going to get another out to me. I asked about the color and they said they changed the color to grey, but still offer in red to some distributors.

Did you tell them to send that one in red, so you could have the best of both worlds? :hiding:

i honestly wouldn't care if they sent me a pink or lime green one as long as I had two

Red looks way better.



Kidding again, you can't really see the rear once installed.

FYI regarding the color... I got a set of SAWs from wheelers last month and they are grey/silver.

did those coils set you pretty much at 1.5 or did it give you more of a lift?

not sure, they haven't been installed yet.

 

[Magnetic4R]

Ohh the dilemma, Bilstein, you give us a ~1.75" lift on a 0.5" setting and SAW, a 2" lift instead of a 1.5" :Cry:

 

[sigbrown1297]

not sure, they haven't been installed yet.

take some good measurements before and after and let us know.

Thanks

I'm setting mine 2.12 in the front so the 1.5 SAW works out perfectly for me.

How are you setting front at 2.12? Or are you being sarcastic.....
I thought the 6112s have a clip like the 5100s...am I totally wrong?

Doing a lot of research trying to decide what to do on my truck. Thanks for input.

Mine came colored silver. Apparently the last pair Toytec had before SAW moved their facilities to restart production.

It raised my rear 2". I placed about 250lbs of sand bags on the rear for about 5 days and it dropped to 1". Incidentally the slight drivetrain vibration I was getting at about 22mph diminished considerably. I took the bags out but it is still giving me 2" and the driveline vibration is back to noticeable again.

Hopefully this upcoming weekend worth of flexing on the trail will get them down closer to 1 and 1/2"

I just realized this thread is a year old....thought I read 2016, not 2015.
Anyway, good info on the recent feedback.
I now also see how the 6112s are adjustable.....
